Read the article and watch the film “Good Will Hunting”.

Summarize in
one slide the relation you analyze between them.
The article talks about Descriptive Linguistics, a branch of linguistics which describes how
language is used, it does not set the rules of how language has to be used. Moreover, the article
states that one of the descriptive linguistics aims is to capture linguistic diversity before it can
be explained and interpreted. Also, this science is allied with social sciences because they
make approaches to language.
We can relate the article with the film "Good Will Hunting" because we can recognize the
diversity of language of the characters. For example, Will (the main character) uses certain
expressions and vocabulary that other people do not use. This is due to he grew up in another
place, in South Boston specifically, in an orphanage, and was a victim of abuse when he was a
child. To illustrate that, in the film, we can see Will saying vulgar words all the time, which are
very common in places such as the one where he grew up. In conclusion, the sociocultural
surroundings of Will had influenced his use of language.
